Default Lowering springs

Anyone recommend a certain kind of lowering springs for my ‘13 is250? Don’t want to drop any more than 2 inches.

H&R is nice. But you may need shocks depending on how old your shocks are. So you may want to look into coilovers if your budget allows.

Swift springs work great with stock shocks and give you comfortable ride.

I have Eibachs on my 08 IS250 w/original shocks. Prob 50K on springs and a total of 60K on the car. No problems w/either springs or shocks. Car handles well and rides comfortably. Lowers about 1 1/2”

Just go coilovers. I think D2 are the only 2 inch drop springs.

Wondering if I can get some help. I mounted oem Fsport springs with the stock shocks. The springs lowered the car by 1 inch but the ride is horrible. I expected a more stiff and "sporty" ride but it's very harsh. Has anyone else experienced this? It almost seems like the shocks are bottomed out and not dampening the springs at all. My theory is that the standard shocks are at a higher "neutral point" and are not able to dampen properly or at all at the new lower neutral point. Opinions?
